Just a hint: SS was a military group, not the entirety of German population and not even the entire military (Wehrmacht) in that time. The SS certainly didn't have archeologists. It's like saying some Americans of today are "

Economic growth. That's in the media in government documents but it's that the measure most citizens should care about The numbers grew but how much did quality of life increase in the past 20 years in the US? A vast majority of

Living in a country with lots of Bulgarian expats. 100% understand your position and would do the same thing - but so sad that most of the good and honest people leave the country. If so of you stayed things would probably change very quick

If you pay taxes abroad the US will still haunt you to show that you paid - and if it's lower than you would have paid back home claim the difference. Many American expats in Europe that have acquired the right for local nationality gi

The difficulty is not banning, the difficulty is detecting. Nobody indicates that their product has lead - it's found through inspections and once you found it you would be utterly stupid not to take the known-to-be-harmful product ful

the timeline doesn't seem to work. Who were the kids with the difficult childhood? At 59 now his parents would be in their 70s-80s (if still alive today), so 2019-80y=born 1939 (five years old when the war ended). They could have exper

It's an untested legal situation: EU claims authority (GDPR for European customers) AND US claims authority (various snooping acts binding for US companies even when working abroad). At least in public there's no resolution at thi

But the list of criteria itself looks like a lobbying piece. It's not, say, medical products. It's among others products that are part of China's own industrial strategy. If you are punishing China, why would you leave out th

"Oh no we're at capacity, need to get mainland police to come over." Does no one see the obvious ploy here? This is a setup - ready arguments to call over mainland forces.

The British royal family is one of the largest landowners in Europe and, accordingly, receives one of the largest chunks of EU agricultural funding. I guess the same is true across countries: former royal/noble families hold onto the l

SpaceX refused to give a reason. So you can guess: Impotence? Incompetence? Malice? Different risk calculation? Game of chicken? Either way, if they throw thousands of satellites into space they can't just say "sorry, tragedy of t

How much thrust? How high should it go? And on what information? Data sources will become more complex, risks need to be weighed. I'm not sure 'AI' is the right answer as most (all?) of AI is probably today just ML or more of
